    Abstract Static computer assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS) is an integral part of the digital workflow in implant dentistry and provides the link between the virtual planning environment and surgical field. The accuracy of s-CAIS is influenced by many cumulative factors including the fit of the template which is related to the manufacturing process. This critical review provides an overview of the current research on additively manufactured surgical implant guides.

    Abstract Objective: Our aim in this study was to determine the safety, glycemia, and quality of life (QoL) associated with in-clinic installation and management of supported open-source artificial pancreas systems (SOSAPS) in type 1 diabetes (T1D).
    Methods: This investigation is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive SOSAPS users at a Canadian diabetes centre. SOSAPS were offered to all moderately tech-savvy T1D clients on sensor-augmented multiple daily injection or pump, able to pay for hardware, and willing to sign a consent and waiver document. SOSAPS were installed and maintained by clinic staff at no cost to clients. iPhone users were assigned to either Loop (n=108) or iPhone artificial pancreas systems (iAPS; n=114) and Android users to Android-type APS (n=24). Outcomes included severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), time in range (TIR) 4.0 to 10.0 mmol/L, time below range (TBR) <4 mmol/L, glucose management indicator (GMI), mean sensor glucose (MSG), change in glycated hemoglobin (A1C), and QoL.
    Results: Two hundred forty-eight subjects (131 males, 117 females), with a mean age of 36 years and diabetes duration of 21 years, experienced 3 episodes of severe hypoglycemia and no DKA over a follow-up of 17 months. TIR rose by 16%, from 64% to 80% (p<0.0001); TBR fell by 1.0%, from 3.5% to 2.5% (p=0.001); MSG fell from 9.0 to 8.1 mmol/L (p<0.001); GMI fell from 7.3% to 6.7% (p<0.001); and A1C fell from 7.2% to 6.7% (p<0.0001). QoL scores were healthy before and improved after SOSAPS.
    Conclusions: Clients with T1D using SOSAPS and supported with no-cost care to the client (software, technology, and physician/physician assistant) safely achieved improved TIR, GMI, A1C, and QoL.

    Abstract Background: The real-world effect of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring on glucose control in type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin is uncertain. This retrospective real-world study aimed to evaluate change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) amongst adults with type 2 diabetes managed with basal insulin starting flash glucose monitoring.
    Methods: Medical records were reviewed for adults with type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin for ⩾1 year and using FreeStyle Libre
    Results: Medical records (
    Conclusion: This Canadian real-world retrospective study showed significantly reduced HbA1c following initiation of flash glucose monitoring technology to further support management of type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin.

    Abstract Background: needle-free connectors are widely used in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to identify any differences between microbial ingress into six different connectors (three neutral-displacement, one negative-displacement and two anti-reflux connectors).
    Methods: each connector underwent a 7-day clinical simulation involving repeated microbial contamination of the connector's injection ports with Staphylococcus aureus followed by decontamination and then saline flushes through each connector. The simulation was designed to be a surrogate marker for the potential risk of contamination in clinical practice.
    Results: increasing numbers of S. aureus were detected in the flushes over the 7 days of sampling despite adherence to a rigorous decontamination programme. Significant differences in the number of S. aureus recovered from the saline flush of some types of connectors were also detected. Two different durations (5- and 15-second) of decontamination of the injection ports with 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipes were also investigated. There was no significant difference between the median number of S. aureus recovered in the saline flushes following a 5-second (165.5, 95% CI=93-260) or a 15-second decontamination regimen (75, 10-190).
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that there may be differences in the risk of internal microbial contamination with different types of connectors and that even 15 seconds of decontamination may not fully eradicate microorganisms from the injection ports of some devices.
